One of the most annoying current cliches in journalism is making
reference to AARP to say that someone is old. For once, talking about
aging and making reference to AARP isn't a cliche. In today's Chicago Tribune, Barbara
Brotman catches up with former Buzzcocks bass player Steve Garvey to
discuss the cultural meaning of the band's "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"
being used in AARP ad campaign. The interview also goes beyond the
usual "where are they now" piece since they delve into what aging has
been like for Garvey, now a carpenter with a kid in college.
